Sunrise in Alaska was 4:43 AM on Monday, May 23 and this is what we woke up to (not that early for sure!)

The pictures are off the balcony of our room on the ship.  We are in the waterway just south of Juneau in  fjords known as Tracy and Endicott Arms, a pair of sheer, narrow and deep passages, walled by ice and rock that slice their way for 30 miles through floating ice chunks, some the size of 3-story buildings.

The glacier is directly ahead in this picture.  Actually, there are two of them (Sawyer North and South) that flow into the end of Tracy Arm.  They are active glaciers with calving, which is what happens when the glacial ice breaks off and cascades into the sea.
